How to: Re-soften Brown Sugar

We have all pulled a bag of brown sugar out of the cabinet and it has been a brick instead of soft.

Here are some ways to solve that problem.

1. Open the bag. Place a piece of bread inside and close the bag back up. The next day -- problem solved!
2. Place brown sugar in a container. Place brown sugar along with a cup of water in the microwave. Microwave for about a minute or until brown sugar is softened.
3. Place you brown sugar in a container. Place a damp towel over the top. By morning it should be as good as new.

You forgot part of the first choice. Take bread out, cover it with brown sugar and eat it.

At least that's what I did as a kid.

Cool tips, I'll have to remember those next time my brown sugar is as hard as a rock!
